The new All Its Grace to the song “Death is Distant” was shot at the release show to the current album “To what End?”.
 
“We liked the idea to use live material for the video right away. It really shows in a realistic way who we are, doesn´t seem to serious or unhumorous and is a great visual memory to this fantastic evening of our release show.”.
 
It was clear right away, that “Death is Distant”, the song with the bigges groove, would fit the best to a video like that. The fun, that always is a main part for All Its Grace, can be really felt while watching the video. Not just the fun of the band playing but of the audience enjoying the evening aswell.
 
The lyrics are about changes, the ticking away of time, and the unavoidable comming of the end.
 
It is is importand for every human beeing (and every band aswell) how to deal with this fact of life. There is always the danger of making wrong decisions, wasting time and to not stop negative developments. Maybe have to be aware of the end to appreciate things more. All things vanish and maybe thats the most important thing about the beauty of life.

Mad Caddies released new Single “Baby” on January 17

Leave a comment

The Mad Caddies are one of the leading bands in ska and reggae punk. Their long career has taken them to all corners of the world. Now the time has come for the Caddies to travel to new shores with the release of their new album ‘Arrows Room 117’ which is being released jointly by SBÄM Records (Europe) and 55 Rose Reccords (USA). ‘Arrows Room 117’ is the band’s first album since 2018’s “Punk Rocksteady.”

SBÄM has recently just made with their biggest festival to date and work on a 90s punk rock documentary, and has already managed bands like Pulley in their roster. Together with 55 Rose Records, an Orange County-based music label founded by John Barrett, they sign the eighth Mad Caddies Album for 2024.

“Baby is a classic punk rock polka with a horn line that won’t leave your head a groove that will keep your butt shaken and a vocal line that you won’t stop singing.”, says Sean Sellers about the new single “Baby”.

“This is a super fun country Rock song shining light on the golden era of this style of music. It reminds me of Elvis with the production, and how the horns came out. When I first started dating my girlfriend and we fell for each other. I just told her to call me baby and not say my name. I think you get the point”, says Chuck Robertson.

“This album is very personal for me,” elaborates Robertson. “It represents 3 years of hard work back in the woodshed, while half the world stood still. During these strange times I tapped into a new source of creativity and shared new experiences with new friends and great musicians. This body of work and these songs showcase pain and betrayal, love and loss and the bright light of new beginnings.”

“Arrows Room 117” will be released on SBÄM and 55 Rose Records in 2024.

Brace yourselves for the release of Strung Out‘s blistering new album, Dead Rebellion, on April 5th! Dive headfirst into the powerful track “Cages,” which is already streaming worldwide. Catch the gripping music video on our YouTube channel. Then, lock down your copy with this limited-edition shirt bundle. Digital music lovers, be sure to pre-save the album with this link. If that’s not enough, mark your calendars for March, because Strung Out will be on tour, with more dates lined up throughout the year. Vocalist Jason Cruz has this to share about the album and song:

Dead Rebellion is a love letter to our fans, and the product of a 34-year negotiation with ourselves and the world. It was written, performed, and produced with a deep conviction that none of this is in vain, and if you love something enough, it will always take care of you in the end. For example, the song “Cages” explores the self-imposed limitations that hold us back, like blame and self-victimization. Only by eliminating these from the equation can true growth occur.
